Offenders ransacked a bedroom after jemmying the window in a second burglary in the same road within seven days.

Herts Police have shared an appeal for the information via their Herts Connected platform after the Highfield Way, Rickmansworth, property was broken into between 5.55pm and 6.10pm on Wednesday, November 13.

After forcing the study window open from outside, burglars went upstairs to search the front bedroom but apparently no items were taken.

Relevant information, CCTV, or doorbell camera footage can be shared with police by calling 101, quoting crime number 41/96096/24.

Previous burglary 

Work tools were stolen from a house in the same road during another burglary sometime between 5.30pm on Wednesday, November 6 and 7.30am the next day.

Officers think the offender may have got into the house through the rear, as there were foot marks in wet concrete coming from that direction and a fence panel had been moved on the right-hand side. They may then have exited through the other side because bricks and a fence panel were moved there too, police added.

The relevant crime reference number was 41/94006/24.
